1963 Mercury Monterey MONTEREY Description
1963 MONTEREY BREEZEWAY WITH THE ROLL DOWN REAR WINDOW THAT OPERATES FLAWLESSLY. CAR IS VERY SOLID UNDERNEATH AND ALL AROUND, A FEW MINOR RUST SPOTS IN FRONT OF BOTH REAR WHEELS AND A SMALL HOLE IN TRUNK FLOOR (SEE PHOTOS). ROCKERS ARE VERY SOLID, CAR WAS ORIGINALLY FROM OUT WEST. CAR SHOWS ORIGINAL PATINA AND GETS MORE ATTENTION THAN MY OLD ROLLS ROYCE! THERE ARE 28 CANDY COLORS ON THE ROOF AND THE FINISH IS SMOOTH AND SHINY AND CLEAR COATED.
RECENT REPAIRS INCLUDE, NEW FUEL TANK, NEW FRONT SPRINGS, NEW SHOCKS ALL THE WAY AROUND, NEW HALOGEN REPLACEMENT BULB HEADLIGHTS, NEW TUNE UP, NEW OIL AND FILTER, NEW ANTIFREEZE, NEW ENGINE VACUUM LINES, NEW STAINLESS SHORT SHOT HEADERS TIED INTO NEWER DUALS WITH FLOWMASTER STYLE MUFFLERS AND LOW RIDER BELL FLOWER CHROME TIPS. SOUNDS GREAT! BRAKES FRONT AND REAR WERE REPLACED AND ARE POWER DRUM ALL THE WAY AROUND. STOPS ON A DIME! TIRES ALL MATCH AND ARE 14 INCH, WHEELS ARE CLEAN AND SHINY WITH NO RUST. REAR SPRINGS ARE ORIGINAL AND THE CAR SITS NICE AND LEVEL. I ADDED A PERIOD CORRECT SET OF 390 TALL CHROME VALVE COVERS AND AN AFTERMARKET CHROME AIR CLEANER.
ON THE INTERIOR, CARPET WAS REPLACED, REAR SEAT IS ORIGINAL AND IN VERY NICE SHAPE. FRONT SEAT WAS RECOVERED YEARS AGO. THE RADIO WORKS, THE HEAT WORKS, ALL OF THE DRIVING LIGHTS WORK AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO, DASH LIGHTS ARE OUT AND MOST OF THE GAUGES ARE INOPERATIVE. ALL WINDOWS ROLL DOWN, ALL DOOR PANELS ARE VERY NICE, WINDSHIELD HAS A CRACK ON DRIVER SIDE.
THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT, VERY SMOOTH ON THE ROAD AND SHIFTS AND STOPS FINE. TYPICAL 56 YEAR OLD SQUEAKS FROM THE FRONT END, BUT IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE! POWER STEERING PUMP HAS NEW HOSES BUT HAS A LEAK WHICH I THINK IS THE FRONT SEAL. DRIPS OUT AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF. AVAILABLE ON EBAY. TYPICAL OIL LEAKS THAT YOU MAY EXPECT FOR A CAR THIS AGE BUT I HAVE NOT HAD TO ADD ANY IN 6 MONTHS. IT IS TIME FOR SOME ONE ELSE TO ENJOY THIS CAR AS I HAVE AND EITHER FINISH IT OR LEAVE THE PATINA, IT GETS A TON OF COMPLIMENTS AND ATTENTION!
